STANDARD: IAW UH-60 technical manuals.

a. Hydraulic Systems Function

Frame #0025 (Hydraulic System Function)

(1) The hydraulic systems provide hydraulic pressure to operate the primary
servos, tail rotor servos, pilot assist servos, and APU start motor.
(2) There are three hydraulic systems: No. 1, No. 2, and Backup.
(3) This lesson is designed to familiarize you with the primary components of
the hydraulic systems, their function, and their location on the helicopter.

4
 (a) Hydraulic System Schematic
Frame #0030 (Hydraulic System Schematic)

1) The three hydraulic systems are designed to provide full

flight control pressure.
2) The components of the hydraulic systems are three
hydraulic pump modules, two transfer modules, a utility
module, three dual primary servos, one dual tail rotor
servo, four pilot-assist servos, an APU accumulator,
APU hand pump, and a servicing hand pump.
3) There are three hydraulic pressure supply systems, No.
1, No. 2, and backup.
4) All are completely independent and each is fully capable
of providing essential flight control pressure for
maximum system redundancy.
5) Complete redundancy is accomplished by the backup
pump providing hydraulic power to both No. 1 and/or No.
2 systems if one or both pumps fail.
6) If two systems lose pressure, there will be a slight
restriction in the maximum rate of flight control
movement due to only one pump supplying both stages
with hydraulic power.
7) The No. 1 hydraulic system operates with the rotor
turning, and supplies the first stage of all primary servos
and the first stage of the tail rotor servo.
8) The system components are an integrated pump
module, a transfer module, first stage primary servos,
and first stage tail rotor servo.

5
 9) The No. 2 hydraulic system, which also operates with
the rotor turning, supplies the second stage primary
servo and the pilot assist servos.
10) System components are the integrated pump module,
transfer module, second stage primary servos, and pilot
assist modules.
11) The backup hydraulic pump system supplies emergency
pressure to the No. 1 and/or No. 2 hydraulic systems
whenever a pressure loss occurs.
12) It also supplies pressure to the No. 2 stage of the tail
rotor servo in case of a loss of pressure in the first stage
of the tail rotor servo or #1 RSVR LOW indication.
13) This system supplies hydraulic pressure to all flight
control components during ground checkout.
14) The backup system also provides a hydraulic pressure
for automatic recharging of the APU start system
accumulator.
a) No. 1 Hydraulic System
Frame #0032 (No. 1 Hydraulic Systems)

1 The No. 1 hydraulic system services the

first stage of the primary servos and tail
rotor servo.

6
 b) No. 2 Hydraulic System
Frame #0035 (No. 2 Hydraulic System)

B. ENABLING LEARNING OBJECTIVE ELO # 2

ACTION: Identify the major components of the Hydraulic systems.

CONDITIONS: As a UH-60 Maintenance Test Pilot.
STANDARD: IAW UH-60 Technical Manuals.

a. Hydraulic Pump Module

Frame #0126 (Hydraulic Pump Module)

(1) The pump has two valves:

(a) A high pressure relief valve.
(b) A bleed relief valve.
(2) The pump also has two filters:
(a) A pressure filter
1) The pressure filter has no bypass.
(b) A return filter.
1) The return filter has a bypass valve that opens when
return pressure reaches between 90 and 110 psid.
(c) A red indicator button on each filter housing will pop out when
differential pressure across the filter reaches 60 to 80 psid.
(d) Each pump has three internal check valves:
1) one at the external ground coupling.
2) one at the pressure side
3) one at the return side.

11
Frame #0125 (Hydraulic Pump Module)

(3) The hydraulic pump modules are combination hydraulic pumps and
reservoirs.
(4) The No. 1, No. 2, and backup pump modules are identical and
interchangeable with each other.
(5) The pumps are serviced with MIL-H-5606 or MIL-H-83282 hydraulic fluid.
Refer to the Technical Manual (TM) prior to servicing.

12
Frame #0125 (Hydraulic Pump Module)

(6) The reservoir part of each pump module has a color coded fluid level
indicator window marked:
(a) BLUE for Hydraulic Fluid Expansion (movement of piston up to
3/8-inch into overfill zone is acceptable, but when piston moves
more than 3/8-inch into overfill zone, bleed the system until
piston indicates 3/8-inch above full level)
(b) RED for REFILL (pump under serviced, requires servicing)
(c) GREEN for FULL. The position of the piston indicator stripe,
viewed through the sight glass of the pump module, compared to
the fluid ident and level indicator plate, indicates the amount of
hydraulic fluid in the pumps reservoir.
(d) There is a fluid quantity switch mounted on top of each reservoir
that senses reservoir fluid quantity for that system.
(7) The pressure relief and bleed valve protect the pump from high pressure
in the return system.

13
 b. Depressurizing Valve
Frame #0124 (Depressurizing Valve)

(1) A depressurization valve in the backup pump module allows the motor to
reach its rated speed before a load is applied.
(2) When the depressurizing solenoid is actuated, the path opens and fluid
is depressurized to 700 psi for .5 or 4 seconds depending on the power
source, 4 seconds on APU generator supplying power and .5 seconds
for the main generators.

14
 c. Transfer Module
Frame #0130 (Transfer Module Location)

(1) The No. 1 and No. 2 transfer modules are located on the right and left
side of the primary servos on the hydraulic deck.
(2) They connect hydraulic pressure from the pump modules to the flight
control servos.

15
Frame #0132 (Transfer Module System Flow FLASH)

(a) Each module is an integrated assembly of shutoff valves,

pressure switches, check valves, shuttle valves, and restrictor.
(b) The transfer valve is spring loaded to the open or (normal)
position.

16
 d. Hydraulic System Velocity Fuse
Frame #0133(Hydraulic System Velocity Fuse)

(1) Velocity fuses are incorporated in hydraulic systems to prevent continued

loss of fluid in cases of serious leakage.
(2) The velocity fuses are strictly safety devices and are not needed for
operation of the system.
(3) Velocity fuses are usually installed in the hydraulic lines and can only be
used in lines through which fluid flows in one direction.
(4) A hydraulic fuse is designed to permit only a limited quantity of fluid to
pass through it.
(5) When this limit is reached, the velocity fuse automatically shuts off
further flow.

17
 e. Primary Servo
Frame #0134 (Primary Servo)

(1) Main rotor control loads are reacted by three, two-stage primary servos
(the forward servo, aft servo, and lateral servo) mounted on the upper
deck above the cabin, forward of the main gear box.
(2) Each primary servo contains two independent, redundant stages with
only the mechanical input linkage in common.

18
Frame #0135 (Primary Servo)

(3) Each servo has two independent stages (first stage and second stage).
(4) Each stage has an independent piston, valve housing, and hydraulic
supply.
(5) The input linkage is common.
(6) The servos are interchangeable. Each stage of the servo has a jam
simulation button.
(7) Each stage of a primary servo has a ballistic tolerant feature built in so
that if a projectile should damage one stage, that stage will be
inoperative, but will not stop the other stage from operating properly.
(8) The systems are electrically interlocked through the opposite system's
servo pressure switch to prevent both systems from being shut off at the
same time.
(9) As an example, when the SERVO switch is placed to 1ST STG, second
stage pressure must be above 2350 psig before the first stage shutoff
valve closes, and the #1 PRI SERVO PRESS capsule goes on.

19
Frame #0136 (Primary Servo Flow FLASH)

(a) Primary Servo Flow

1) The pilot, or AFCS, moves the control unit, which ports
hydraulic fluid from one side of the input shaft of the
servo to the other side.
2) If a bypass condition should occur, the bypass valve
moves inside the servo, allowing for continued flight
control movement.
3) When pressed, the jam simulation button displaces the
spool valve sleeve, causing the #1 or #2 PRI SERVO
PRESS caution light on the caution/advisory panel to
illuminate.

20
Frame #0137 (Primary Servo Shut-off Electrical Interlock Flash)

(b) Primary Servo Shut-off Electrical Interlock

1) The 1st and 2nd stage primary servos can't be shut off
simultaneously, this would render the aircraft
uncontrollable.
2) If a lack of pressure in any stage opens the circuit to the
other stages shut-off valve, which is a fail safe open.
3) PILOT AND COPILOT CAN'T SIMULTANEOUSLY
SHUT OFF BOTH STAGES:
4) With the copilot switch to 2nd stage OFF, No. 2 DC
primary bus power closes the 2nd stage S/O valve, a
lack of pressure in all three 2nd stage primary servos
opens the circuit to the 1st stage S/O valve, the pilot 1st
stage switch can't complete the circuit to close the valve
on the only remaining servos.
5) LACK OF PRESSURE IN ANY STAGE PREVENTS
THE COCKPIT SHUT OFF OF THE OTHER STAGE:
6) With the copilot switch to 2nd stage OFF, No. 2 DC
primary bus power closes the 2nd stage S/O valve.
7) If pressure drops in the 1st stage, the lack of pressure in
the 1st stage opens the circuit to the 2nd stage S/O
valve and it reopens.

21
 f. Tail Rotor Servo
Frame #0140 Tail Rotor Servo)

(1) The tail rotor servo is located on the tail rotor gearbox and furnishes a
power boost to the tail rotor flight controls.

(2) With the TAIL SERVO switch at NORMAL, the first stage of this servo is
powered by the No. 1 hydraulic system.

22
 (3) When the TAIL SERVO switch is moved to BACKUP, the second stage
is powered by the backup system.
(4) Should the first stage become inoperative, the backup pump will come
on and power the second stage.
(5) All aerodynamic loads are then reacted by the second stage.

Frame #0141 (Tail Rotor Servo, Flash)

(6) The stages of the servo are controlled by the TAIL SERVO switch
located on the miscellaneous switch panel on the lower console, and the
No. 1 and No. 2 logic modules.
(7) A cooling restrictor is installed for the No. 1 pump module. Normally,
only the first stage of the servo is pressurized.

23
 (a) 2nd Stage Tail Rotor Servo Shutoff Valve
Frame #0142 (2nd Stage Tail Rotor Servo Shutoff Valve)

1) The shutoff valve controlling the 2nd stage tail rotor

servo is the 2nd stage servo shutoff valve.
2) The 2nd stage tail rotor servo shutoff valve is located on
the right hand side of the hydraulic deck, just forward of
the forward bellcrank support.
3) When the TAIL SERVO switch, located on the MISC SW
panel, is moved to BACKUP, the 2nd stage is powered
by the backup system.
4) Should the 1st stage become inoperative, the backup
pump will come on and power the 2nd stage.

24
 g. Pilot Assist Servo Module
Frame #0155 (Pilot Assist Servo Module)

(1) The pilot assist servo module is located on the hydraulic deck, just
forward of the mixer assembly.
(2) The pilot assist module consists of a thermal relief valve, a pressure
reducer, a Stability Augmentation System (SAS) shutoff valve, a boost
shutoff valve, a pitch/trim turn-on valve, a pressure switch, and self-
sealing quick-disconnect couplings.
(3) The thermal relief valve has no function when the module is installed on
the helicopter.
(4) Its purpose is to protect the module from damage due to thermal
expansion of hydraulic fluid during storage.
(5) The pressure reducer valve reduces system pressure from 3000 to 1000
psi for pitch/trim servo operation.
(6) An internal relief valve protects the pitch/trim servo from adverse system
pressure.
(7) If the pressure reducer fails, the relief valve goes into bypass, and a
visual indicator, on the pressure reducer, pops.
(8) The SAS shutoff valve turns off/on pressure to the SAS actuators and
pitch boost servo.
(9) The boost shutoff valve turns off system pressure to the collective and
yaw boost servos.
(10) The pitch/trim turn-on valve turns on system pressure to the pitch/trim
servo.

25
 (11) The pressure switch on the module turns on the SAS OFF light on the
caution/advisory panel when pressure drops below limits.
(12) The module also has self-sealing, quick-disconnect couplings on all input
and output ports.

(a) Pilot Assist Servos

Frame #0156 (Pilot Assist Servos)

1) The collective and yaw boost servos reduce cockpit

control forces.
2) They are turned on and off by pressing the button
marked "BOOST" on the auto flight control panel.
3) Pitch boost is turned on and off by pressing SAS 1 and 2
on and off.
4) There are 3 SAS actuators which enhance dynamic
stability and provide short term rate damping in the pitch,
roll, and yaw axes.
5) SAS inputs are not felt in the cockpit flight controls, they
are manifested aft of the pilot assist area.
6) SAS 1 and SAS 2 are turned on and off by pressing the
switches on the AFCS panel marked SAS 1 and SAS 2.
7) The pitch trim assembly is controlled by the trim switch
on the AFCS panel.
8) The collective boost servo reduces stick and flight
control friction.

26
9) The servo is controlled by a button marked BOOST on
the STABILATOR CONTROLS/AUTO FLIGHT
CONTROL panel.
10) The collective boost servo has a jam simulation button.
11) When pressed, the button displaces the spool valve
sleeve and causes the BOOST SERVO OFF capsule on
the caution/advisory panel to go on.
12) The yaw boost servo reduces stick and flight control
friction.
13) The yaw boost servo is the same as the collective boost
except for the addition of a SAS actuator, which provides
rate damping.
14) The servo is controlled by a button marked BOOST, on
the STABILATOR CONTROLS/AUTO FLIGHT
CONTROL panel.
15) The yaw boost servo has a jam simulation button.
16) When pressed, the button displaces the spool valve
sleeve and causes the BOOST SERVO OFF capsule on
the caution/advisory panel to go on.
17) The pitch/trim actuator assembly is controlled by the
SAS1, SAS2, TRIM and FPS buttons on the
STABILATOR CONTROLS/AUTO FLIGHT CONTROL
panel.
18) The pitch/trim actuator assembly controls the
longitudinal axis and the attitude of the helicopter.
19) Trim maintains a position of the cyclic stick in the
longitudinal axis.

27
 a) Pitch Boost Servo
Frame #0157 (Pitch/Trim Boost Servo)

1 Internally, the pitch boost servo contains

three chambers where the direction of
hydraulic fluid flow is directed by a
series of valves and a servo control
piston.

28
 b) Yaw Boost Servo
Frame #0158 (Yaw Boost Servo)

1 The yaw boost servo internally contains

a servo control valve, anti-jam sleeve,
relief valve, and a sequence and bypass
valve.
2 Externally, the yaw boost servo has a
SAS module mounted to the housing
and connected to the yaw boost servo
linkage.

29
 c) Collective Boost Servo
Frame #0159 (Collective Boost Servo)

30
 h. APU Accumulator
Frame #0160 (APU Accumulator Location/Function)

(1) In the hydraulic system, the accumulator and start motor are used to
start the APU.
(2) The accumulator is located above the fuel cells in the aft cabin ceiling,
while the start motor is attached to the accessory drive assembly on the
APU.

31
 i. APU Hydraulic System
Frame #0166 APU Hydraulic System)

(1) The hydraulic system can be broken down into seven major components,
APU start motor, APU start valve, APU accumulator, accumulator tape
indicator, APU hand pump, accumulator pressure switch, and the
accumulator pressure gage.

32
 (a) APU Start Motor
Frame #0171 (APU Start Motor)

1) The APU start motor, controlled by the ESU, is

hydraulically driven to 20% - 30% speed, and drops out
when the APU reaches 70% speed during the start
sequence.
2) After the APU reaches 70% speed, the start motor
becomes a free wheeling unit.
3) The hydraulic fluid used to drive the start motor, enters
from the accumulator, through the pressure line, and
returns to the accumulator through the return line.
4) The APU start motor is mounted to the accessory drive,
and motors the compressor assembly during the start
sequence.

33
 (b) APU Start Valve
Frame #0170 APU Start Valve)

1) The APU start valve, controlled by the ESU, releases the

accumulator hydraulic charge to APU start motor during
the APU start sequence.
2) Located on the APU start valve, is the manual release
lever.
3) During maintenance procedures, the manual release
lever will release the hydraulic fluid charge from the
accumulator, to the APU start motor, without the APU
start sequence being initiated.

34
 (c) Accumulator Tape Indicator
Frame #0167 (Accumulator Tape Indicator)

1) The accumulator tape indicator, on the APU accumulator

displays the percent of pressure charge in the
accumulator.

35
 (d) APU Accumulator Flow
Frame #0173 (APU Accumulator Flow FLASH)

1) Inside the APU accumulator, there are two chambers.

2) The first chamber contains a nitrogen pre-charge,
hydraulic fluid, and is separated by a floating piston.
3) A service valve is connected to the nitrogen end of the
chamber with a pressure gage (0 - 5000 psi) attached.
4) Before operating, the nitrogen pressure gage should
read 2600 - 2850 psi.
5) The pressurized nitrogen provides the force to move the
floating piston, pushing the hydraulic fluid out of the first
chamber.
6) The hydraulic fluid in the first chamber supplies
pressurized hydraulic fluid to the APU starter through a
start valve.
7) Once the start valve closes, the backup pump supplies
hydraulic fluid back to the chamber.

36
 (e) APU Hand Pump
Frame #0172 (APU Hand Pump)

1) The APU hand pump is bidirectional, used for manually

recharging the APU accumulator.

37
 (f) Accumulator Pressure Switch.
Fame #0169 (Accumulator Pressure Switch)

1) The accumulator pressure switch sends a signal, when

the accumulator precharge pressure drops below 2535 ±
50 psi, through the right hand relay panel, illuminating
the APU ACCUM LOW caution advisory light.

38
 (g) Accumulator Pressure Gage
Frame #0168 (Accumulator Pressure Gage)

1) The accumulator pressure gage shows the pressure of

the nitrogen precharge inside the APU accumulator.
2) The acceptable pressure range before starting the APU
is 2700 - 3100 psi.
3) The accumulator nitrogen precharge is serviced at the
pressure gage through the nitrogen servicing valve.

39
 (h) APU Start Up Flow
Frame #0174 (APU Start Up Flow FLASH)

1) When the APU control switch is placed in the ON

position, a signal is applied to the ESU.
2) The ESU sends a signal that opens the APU hydraulic
start valve, releasing the hydraulic accumulator charge.
3) This charge turns the APU hydraulic start motor, and
starts the APU compressor, and fuel pump rotating.
4) The APU accumulator low light will go on when the
pressure switch detects low pressure, and the backup
pump will begin to recharge the accumulator.
5) A pressure switch on the utility module will sense the
backup pump is operating, and turns on the BACKUP
PUMP ON light at the caution advisory panel.

40
 j. Hydraulic Leak Test/Isolation
Frame #0175 (Hydraulic Leak Detection/Isolation System)

(1) The hydraulic Leak Detection/Isolation (LDI) system consists of

components of the No.1, No. 2, and backup hydraulic systems.
(2) The LDI system protects the flight control hydraulic system by preventing
the further loss of hydraulic fluid in case of a leak.
(3) The LDI system uses pressure switches and fluid level sensors for
monitoring pump hydraulic fluid level, and pump pressure for primary and
tail rotor servos, and pilot assist servos.

41
 (a) Hydraulic System Logic Modules
Frame #0180 (Hydraulic System Logic Modules)

1) The hydraulic system logic modules are mounted on the

right and left relay panel, located in the cabin overhead
just aft overhead center console.
2) The logic modules continually monitor the hydraulic
systems by inputs received from pressure switches, fluid
level switches on the pump modules, and inputs
received from control switches in the hydraulic system.
3) The outputs of the logic modules will turn on capsules on
the caution/advisory panel, notifying the pilot of a failure,
turn off a valve due to a system malfunction, or
command the backup pump to operate.
4) When a pump module reservoir fluid level switch detects
a fluid loss, the logic module follows the sequence
detailed in the TM to isolate the leak.
5) To accomplish this, the logic module operates the
required shutoff valve(s) to isolate the leak and turns on
the backup pump when required.

42
